Benthic macroalgae are very important in structuring the biota of coastal reefs and are
colonized by several species of animals and plants. The present study describes the …

Salinization in tropical estuarine environments is expected as a result of climate change.
The physiological performance of mangrove-associated key macroalgae can negatively be …

Biological diversity can be evaluated by the taxonomic and functional components. This
study aimed to assess the relationship between taxonomic richness with the functional …

Algal complexity is an important driver of the benthos in coastal marine ecosystems. Distinct
algal architectures host communities with different structures. To assess how amphipod …

Hypersaline estuaries are commonly found in the Semiarid Northeast Brazilian coast.
However, the utilization of these estuaries by early life stages of fishes is less well …

The determination of the processes that act in the assembly of the communities is a theme of
growing interest among ecologists. Different processes (eg, environmental filtering and …

The assemblages of motile and sessile macroinvertebrates [mainly arthropods (peracarids),
mollusks and annelids] were studied in three shallow macroalgal habitats from the NW …

Understanding the relationship between the characteristics of habitats and their associated
community is essential to comprehend the functioning of ecological systems and prevent …

This study aimed to assess the dispersal patterns of macroinvertebrates at local and
regional scales within typical tropical and semi-arid estuaries during periods of high and low …

Araruama Lagoon is one of the world's largest permanent hypersaline lagoons, and
